Beschreibung

Sean Thomas Dougherty is a well known and respected poet who cuts across various schools of poetry, unwilling to trade a set "style" for the freedom to express his experiences through whatever form works best. Born in NYC in 1965 and raised in an interracial family with an African-American step-father, and a mother of mixed European descent, issues of identity and the complexities of history are crucial to Dougherty's work and drive Broken Hallelujahs. His mother's grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Budapest Hungary and Uzzorhod in what is now the Ukraine. This connection to a mixed Eastern European past is a huge part of who Dougherty is as a writer and person. Thus his poetry, filtered by generations of assimilation, exists as a fusion of Eastern European and Afro-centric explorations, ideals, and forms. He strives to create a poetics which resists easy categorization in the same way that his resistance to a simplified notion of identity reaffirms his insistance on the complexity of being human.

POETRY

Joy Howard has something to say in her poems about nature, and human nature, and about grief, and time, and memory.

Her combination of tender but acute observation and mordant wit is reminiscent of U.A. Fanthorpe.

These are strong, womanly poems, characterised by the uncluttered vision of a poet who tells her own truth, regardless of whether she is wryly considering the contents of the myth-kitty or looking afresh at earlier anger and later loss.

An engaging simplicity of language and expression gives the whole collection a powerful honesty.

You can rely on these poems; they will not let you down.

Sam Walter Foss was an American librarian and poet. For many years the opening lines from Foss' The Coming American ("Bring me men to match my mountains / Bring me men to match my plains / Men with empires in their purpose / And new eras in their brains") were inscribed on a granite wall at the United States Air Force Academy to inspire cadets and officers, but they were removed in 2003 to harmonize in perception to the Air Force Academy's having become coeducational. - Summary by Wikipedia
